CUMBERLAND'S BRITISH PLAYS. An unlucky title—like the--telescopes--andft; this reason: — Cumberland, the over-praised dramatist, some few years since edited a collection ofplays, which were so coldly received by the world, that the very fact of their publication,became a secret, ex cept to the ill-fated bookseller, the bookstalls, and the cheesemungere —those never-failing encouragers of unsuccessful intellect. We ourselves, no later than last year, purchased the whole fourteen duodecimos (all for the asks of one Sovereign), and are free to confess that the , universal • discouragement was justified by the trashy character of their contents. With respect to the present collection, it is widely different : the dramas selected are of good odor in the public taste, and being prefaced by some exceedingly pertinent criticisms, will no doubt keSp up their attractiveness. Another advantage is, that all the necessary stage.directionto are given, so that no aspiring !toadies can in future have the slightest excuse for rushing in ou the right bend of the stage, when he should make his entrance on the left. To such a height is this roped for even the minutest theatrical technicalities carried, that the very situations of the Dramatis Persona at the fall of the curtain are marked down. Now this, as Dogberry says, is " moat intolerable and praiseworthy," sod will do►►btless - prevent many a promising tragedian from stabbing himself or his love close by the lamp-lights under the nose of the orchestra, instead of gracefully committing suicide in the hack ground. It was once our good fortune to witness a mistake of this sort during the per formance of Othello at Carmarthen. The " murderous Moor," in the excess of his revenge, had brought Desdernona's feather. bed (a very respectable pie►se of ticking belonging to the landlord of the float and Boots in that ever.todre-venerated town), so close to the lamp-lights, that when he was about to smother her, the couch gore way, and the pour lady slipped through, blankets and all, upon the beards, much to the gratification of a crowded and diecorning audience. Now had this promising young trage dian hut purchased a copy of Cumberland's Plays, he would have there found tlat the bed should he placed in the rear of the stage, in whickease,the accident would hare remained unnoticed, and Dedemona, for ought we ran see to the contrary, might just as well have been smothered by the weight of the blankets falling on her, as by the hands of Othello round her threat. We mention this anecdote as a praetical illustration of the value of sock a dra matic Miscellany as the present, which we also presnn►e conscien tiously to recommend to the notice of our ►eaders in general. PUTNEY. MR. ED1T01t......A1l an inhabitant of Putney, I agree in opinion with ,you, that the danger and ineonvenieve of the narrow lane ;sin +he Richmond side of the bridge oughPto . bst retnedied, but it is not true that the remedy is delayed by want" of spirit or pier_ lion on the part of the inhabitants. Ample room was originally left for all the pureuses of the inhabitants, and it is only iliac* the building of the bridge has caused it be so much frequented by the public, that its narrowness has been found inconvenient. Whilst I profess a sincere feeling for the accidents that occur there, I make bold to say, that as the public require an enlargement of the pass, as you call it, I think the public ought to defray the ex pence of the improvement. The improvements made, and now making in the vicinity, to which you allude, are not made at the expence of the respective parishes, but by the Turnpike Trusts. The narrow lane in Putney, of which the public complain, is only a parish highway, and the rate would be quite inadequate to the amok of widening and improving it. A. A. RICIIIIIOND. MR. Eorroa—l have seen your observations on the narrow lane, near Putney-Bridge, and as I have once suffered by accident, and often by fright, in passing through it, as I am obliged to do five or six times a week, in the dark, at this season of the year, I cannot but feel thankful for the spirit in which they are written. I know that objects of general interest feud chiefly occupy the mind of a public journalist ; but where, without sacrificing mightier matters, s finv lines cart 'be devoted to the advance.. ment of local convenieney, or the exposure and removal of local nuisances, I think them most usefully employed: I have had abundant opportunity'' of collecting the opinion of individuals who frequent that road, and I have found a readiness on the part of the public to contribute to any practicable means which 4ould be suggested for improving the pass. If the Parish of Putney is too poor or too supine for such an undertaking, think that any spirited individuals laying a proper plan before the public would find themselves promptly supported and,encouraged by general subscriptions. It is, however, no new thing drawing the attention of the public to this nuisance: we have before this, oftener than once, been promised an abatement of it ; but I do not know that it ever advanced beyond the tattle of a stage-coach. I am, yours, &c. X. Y. The shares in the Liverpool and Manchester Rail way, which a few weeks ago were at a discount, are now selling at a premium of M, a share; and few sellers at , this advance.— Manchester Courier. SHERIDAN AND HIS DUN ! OR A NEwWAy TO PAY OLD Dante..-Parr knew Sheridan well. He used to tell seve ral characteristic anecdotes of him ; but it was Confidentially only. He thought it was a violation of the reverence due to exalted genius, to dilate in mixed companies upon its irregularities. I heard him describe a singular scene that took place at a dinner given to She ridan at the Sloskspeare, a tavern formerly much frequented, and situated over the Pia= of Covent Garden. .The tide of wit and conviviality flowed for some time without interruption. It hap pened that a gentleman from -the City, to whom Sheridan owed three hundred pounds, and whom he had kept patient by succes sive promises successively broken, was by ill luck oat of the party. The citizen had just before dinner called him ou one aide, and pe blean;dwhheol, remptorily asked for his money ;- but he was pacified by Sheri dan's assurances, and sale doter& to the table in 'apparent good humour. The circulation of the . bottle, however, after dinner, contrary to its ordinary effect, awakened all his angry recollections j a e b c o t u a t e h ros i his s m th o e ne} t a in in addres s ed severe t 0 t s h :f t i r d e a b n u rebuke, n th e admonish edatb Wei to desist, 'and added, that if he renewed it and disturbed the harmony of the company, he should he turned out of the room, The ill-fated wight went on in spits of th e a d mon iti on ; when Sheridan, seizing him by the collar of the coat, and the waistband of hie breeches, lifted him with great macular strength from the ground, and told him, that as ha did not knew how to behave himself like a gentleman, he should be thrown out of the window.. The eitizen struggled to no PorPola with his vigorous assailant, and was struck with horror at the idea of being hurled into the market ; when Sheridan, who Ws; better acquainted with the locality of the tavern. opened the window; deposited his bur den upon the leads of the Piazza, open which the window opened, turned the scr ew a n d f aste ned it upon his cr edi tor.

BY RAPHAEL A great number of the patrons of the line arts assembled on Saturday at Robins's-rooms, Covent-1 rden, it having been publicly announced that a'Madona, by taphael, which had been, by the brat judges, estimated at 5,000 guineas, would be peremptorily sold by auction. Several other pictures were also announced for sale. No. 65. The Madona was put up. That It was the work of the great . Raphael, he believed nobody would have, the hardihood to deny.
